TLDR
An experimental strategy is described to biochemically characterize the pharmacological induction of CREB phosphorylation as a mechanistic marker across different pharmacological classes of compounds for the potential treatment of AD that include: α7 nicotinic agonists, H3 antagonists and 11β HSD1 inhibitors.

The involvement of BDNF, NGF and GDNF in aging and Alzheimer's disease.

TL;DR: Considering that aging and AD are related to cognitive impairment, here it is discussed the involving of neurotrophic factors in the aging process and AD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comprehensive review of mechanisms of pathogenesis involved in Alzheimer's disease and potential therapeutic strategies.

TL;DR: The present review provides an insight to the different molecular mechanisms involved in the development and progression of the AD and potential therapeutic strategies, enlightening perceptions into structural information of conventional and novel targets along with the successful applications of computational approaches for the design of target-specific inhibitors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sleep deprivation impairs memory, tau metabolism, and synaptic integrity of a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease with plaques and tangles.

TL;DR: The study underlines the importance of SD as a chronic stressor, which by modulating biochemical processes influences the development of memory impairments and AD neuropathologies and Correction of SD could be a viable therapeutic strategy to prevent the onset or slow the progression of AD in individuals bearing this risk factor.

Alzheimer's Disease and Hippocampal Adult Neurogenesis; Exploring Shared Mechanisms

TL;DR: The current work suggesting that neuronal differentiation is defective in Alzheimer's disease, leading to dysfunction of the dentate gyrus is reviewed, and alterations in critical signals regulating neurogenesis, such as presenilin-1, Notch 1, soluble amyloid precursor protein, CREB, and β-catenin underlie dysfunctional neuroGenesis in Alzheimer’s disease are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI

GSK3β, CREB, and BDNF in peripheral blood of patients with Alzheimer's disease and depression

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that AD is accompanied by increased CREB activity in lymphocytes and a decreased concentration of BDNF in platelet-rich plasma, which appears to correlate with moderate to severe stages of dementia in AD.

Memory--a century of consolidation.

TL;DR: This review examines the progress made over the century in understanding the time-dependent processes that create the authors' lasting memories.
Journal ArticleDOI

CREB: a stimulus-induced transcription factor activated by a diverse array of extracellular signals.

TL;DR: The molecular mechanisms by which Ser133-phosphorylated CREB activates transcription, intracellular signaling pathways that lead to phosphorylation ofCREB at Ser133, and features of each signaling pathway that impart specificity at the level of CREB activation are discussed.

Deficient long-term memory in mice with a targeted mutation of the cAMP-responsive element-binding protein

TL;DR: Consistent with models claiming a role for long-term potentiation (LTP) in memory, LTP in hippocampal slices from CREB mutants decayed to baseline 90 min after tetanic stimulation, however, paired-pulse facilitation and posttetanic potentiation are normal.
Journal ArticleDOI

Auto-inhibition of brain histamine release mediated by a novel class (H3) of histamine receptor.

TL;DR: It is shown here that histamine inhibits its own release from depolarized slices of rat cerebral cortex, an action apparently mediated by a class of receptor (H3) pharmacologically distinct from those previously characterized, that is, the H1 and H2 receptors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Creb and memory

TL;DR: Evidence from Aplysia, Drosophila, mice, and rats shows that CREB-dependent transcription is required for the cellular events underlying long-term but not short-term memory, indicating thatCREB may be a universal modulator of processes required for memory formation.
